Woman reunites with liver transplant surgeon after nose ring infection nearly killed her

"The happiness in my heart is indescribable," her father said.
Finally, on Jan. 12, she asked her sister to bring her to Long Island Jewish Medical Center. At this point, she said she was so sick that she can't remember the events that followed.
She said she remembers one ultrasound at the hospital, then waking up to her doctors telling her she had a new liver.
"That one decision saved my life," Smith said. "It's very overwhelming. Emotionally, everything, mentally."
Tests had revealed that Smith was suffering from fulminant Hepatitis B, a very rare condition in which the patient is sent into immediate liver failure.
